Their answer to me was if you are getting ready for a tug of war would you dip your hands in oil first for a better grip?

I wiped down the rails and clamp base bottom first with a dry cloth. Then put a little CLP on a cotton ball and wiped the surfaces then again wiped it well with the dry cloth. I can see their point if I had too much CLP on there. When cleaning the Hosel of the clamp base and the clamp shaft I left used s bit more CLP and did not wipe it dry.

John said he was going to get some to try it. If he gets back with me I will let you know.
